A Halloween Feast

I thought it might be another run-of-the-mill horror flick. So, I wasn't sure what to expect. But this one actually defied my expectations. What I got instead was a wild, unpredictable ride that had me hooked. I was uncertain but curious when I came across this movie, A Halloween Feast. Honestly, it's hard to classify this just as a horror film because Lynn Lowry, along with the other actors, did a great job. I found myself laughing out loud during some of the craziest moments. It's clear the filmmakers poured a lot of creativity into it, especially considering it likely had a low budget. They made it work, and it shows in the clever ways they approached certain scenes. This is where creativity meets movie magic.

The mix of humor and horror creates an entertaining balance, and the soundtrack immerses you in it. I was surprised to see some really negative reviews, and I'm glad I watched it before reading them. I get it; maybe it's not for everyone, but if you're in the mood for something different and don't mind a bit of absurdity, you'll likely enjoy this. Well, I certainly did. If you're open to something a bit offbeat and aren't expecting a traditional horror experience, you're in for a treat. It's fun, it's crazy, and it's packed with plenty of quirky moments that make it an enjoyable watch.

It was surprising the vast gap between the apparent current "ratings" and reviews and the actual movie.

This plays like a typical classic bad tv movie with general nobodies or unknowns.

If you can tolerate that sort of quality of production you might indeed just find things to enjoy buried under that budget value mass produced poor quality controlled content.

Personally the every general aspect from the lackluster display of fx or the simple audio which while not horrible or by any means the worst of the worst or exceptionally bad it embraces fully that tv movie median level of quality.

I think this plants it soundly below a 5 and at a 4 for me although certainly i could understand rating it in the range between the two.

I simply didn't have the capacity to find even one lifeline to cling to like the one semi decent actor or perhaps that one good performance or bit of writing.

On paper at a glance the concept sounds promising but the reality is simply cold and hard and glaring.

If you have more expectation for A Halloween Feast beyond its reality prepare for an early famine leading into the cold lean winter of the season.

This awkwardly is hiding behind its own halloween mask of seemingly paid reviews or deeply biased and shameless self promotion that seems a common trend these days evidenced usually by very early low numbers in the ratings to indicate the disingenuous promotional campaign tactic on the cheap for the cheap.

The best way to watch this would be under a cheap ghost costume where you don't cut the eyeholes out of the sheet.

That was twisted... definitely not a 10, or a 9. I was going to give this title a 7 (entertaining, campy, fun, weird, strange, imperfect, out there .... but after the big final twist revelation at the end, which I will not reveal here, I decided to up to an 8 just because of that. Holy darn I have never seen such inappropriate situation in any movie ever -- and because of my "holy Sh***" moment I had to up it a bit and I know it's higher than most horror type movies you see out there who are far better technically with better production -- but darn that ending had me not being able to sleep at night (which is good for a movie like this) wholly molly folks.

It was a wild and crazy ride watching this movie. The ending is a COMPLETE surprise! REALKY liked the goth girl character and the Grandmother. My family is crazy and so is this one. I was very impressed with the musical soundtrack. It's a great movie to watch in a dark Saturday night with friends... everyone will have feedback! The family relationships are complicated, generationally crazed family members and throw in a psychiatrist who gets involved and you begin to wonder if the whole world is weird. Not sure I will ever look at a family dinner the same way again and may keep this on the back of my mind when they cut the turkey but Holiday dinners should be full of Surprises!

I went to see this movie even though it was way out of my comfort zone. The cast was excellent and played off each other well. It was like a bunch of talented friends got together and created a "feast for viewing." The use of comic relief in the midst of tragedy was brilliant. Shakespeare himself would have been proud of the writers for scenes such as the one where three tough guys had to take a city bus to go rough up someone who owed them money. And if you like irony, Mark, the character who spouts Nietzsche hoping to help others find fulfillment, experiences what it is really like to live in a world where "God is dead."
